With Better2Know, you can book your confidential Syphilis test online, or by calling our dedicated team today.
Syphilis is a potentially life-threatening bacterium that can be passed on through direct contact with an infected person. It is commonly transmitted sexually via oral, anal or vaginal intercourse, or unprotected contact with a Syphilis sore. Often painless, Syphilis sores (Chancres) occur during the Primary Stage of a Syphilis infection and can last for up to five weeks before healing by themselves. If left untreated, the infection will progress to the Secondary Stage, when one or more areas of the skin develop a non-itching rash.
Should the infection progress further, the Latent Stage will develop unbeknown to the carrier, potentially damaging vital organs. Syphilis can be responsible for premature births, stillbirths, and miscarriages, as well as causing irreversible health problems, or even death, in 40% of babies born to mothers with an untreated infection.
You can receive a Syphilis test with Better2Know as early as nine days after any potential exposure. Our highly accurate test requires a single blood sample and provides results within three working days of your sample’s arrival at our certified laboratory. Syphilis testing is also included in our Full, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Early Platinum and Peace of Mind screens. All our STI screens are designed and reviewed regularly by a panel of sexual health specialists to give you the peace of mind you need.
If you test positive for Syphilis following a test or screen with Better2Know, we will conduct confirmatory testing at no additional cost. We have a network of experienced doctors situated throughout the Middle East, and our Patient Services team can arrange telephone or face-to-face consultations across Bahrain. You will also be referred to a specialist service, if it is necessary. For more information on Syphilis testing, and what to do in the event of a positive result, please visit our website.
Despite Bahrain’s cosmopolitan culture and international status, the country’s sexual health legislation can be complex. Our tests and screens are carried out in line with national regulations and, as such, personal identification may be required at your private appointment. If Syphilis is a concern for you, or if you are unsure about any other aspect of your sexual health, it is important to keep yourself and your partner/s safe by getting tested at your earliest convenience.
